Question Discussed With Head of Liskeard Woollen Mills, Limited This Week, Mr. Childerhose, who is in charge of the Liskeard Woollen Mills, Limitâ€" ed, at New Liskeard, and who organâ€" ized and established that business, was a visitor to town this week, and the question of establishing a knitting mill in Timmins was diseussed with him. There was a meetiny of the Board of Trade ecalled for Tuesday evening for the matter, and Dr. Meâ€" Innis, Mayor of Timmins, and others took up the question with Mr. Childâ€" erhose. The Liskeard Woollen Mills, Limited, has proven a very successful venture so far and has made great progress. _ Work has been confined chiefly to making blankets, matâ€" tresses, etc., but the opportunity for development along other allied lines is quite apparent. While on his visit to this part of the North Land, Mr. Childerhose has secured large orders for various lines of woollen goods, and it was suggested to him that the establishment of a knitting mill at Timmins would further increase the business possible. It is understood t s n % be the intention of the Liskeard Woolâ€" len Mills, Limited, to go into the knitting branch and the making of mackinaws, etc. Here, where the big demand would be centered, would be the logical place to establish the facâ€" tory for this development, it was arâ€" gued. Such a business would offer employment for women and girls here. It is estimated that a factory of this kind in Timmins would employ about fifty people. There are about 30 emâ€" ployed at the New Liskeard mill. The Mayor and Board of Trade promised Mr. Childerhose every possible moral support and consideration should he decide to establish a knitting mill here. After hearing the case as presented, Mr. Childerhose promised to place the whole matter before his associatâ€" es in the business at New Liskeard and learn their views on the question It is likely that further steps in the matter will be taken in the New Year.

Closs is manager of the baseball team. _A socâ€" ceéer team was organized during the vyear and entered in the P. D. F. L.
